The VPH NoE is a project which aims to help support and progress European research in biomedical modelling and simulation of the human body. This will improve our ability to predict, diagnose and treat disease, and have a dramatic impact on the future of healthcare, the pharmaceutical and medical device industries.

DataFlow: New beta release available PDF | Print | E-mail

The DataFlow project is proud to announce new release candidates for the DataStage and DataBank software, which are nearly feature-complete.DataFlow is creating a two-stage data management infrastructure that makes it easy for you and your research group to work with, annotate, publish, and permanently store your research data.

You can download the software as a virtual machine or as debian-packaged files from the DataStage downloads and DataBank downloads pages on their website.  They  are working on video walkthroughs for installation and use – and will post these to their home page as soon as they are ready.  In the meantime, they recommend reading their Information for test users page. 

 Please let them know how you get on:  There are four ways to do this:

1)        Use their issue tracker to flag up problems or suggest features (instructions here)

2)        See (and contribute to) their DataStage and DataBank documentation wikis

3)        Monitor (and contribute to) their project email list ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , history here)

4)        Email Katherine Fletcher directly ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) if you’re not sure what to do

 

If you want to try the system without installing it (or get your system to talk to DataStage/DataBank instances), they have two "demo" machines which they keep updated with the latest stable code (open to the public, routinely wiped).
